Attention: Anyone who purchased an
EZ-Flo stainless steel toilet connector or washing machine water
supply line that failed.

Berger & Montague, P.C. is conducting an investigation and
asking to hear from anyone who purchased an EZ-Flo or Eastman
stainless steel toilet connector or washing machine water supply
line. These products are believed to be defective and leak water,
flooding consumers' homes. We are interested in speaking with
consumers to help determine whether a class action lawsuit can be
filed.

About the case

Berger & Montague, P.C. is investigating possible claims
against EZ-Flo International, Inc. and Eastman on behalf of
consumers who purchased one or both of these products:

There is a defect in both of these products that causes them to
fail and leak water throughout homeowners' bathrooms or laundry
rooms.

If you purchased a faulty EZ-Flo or Eastman toilet connector
and/or water supply line and are interested in discussing a
possible case, please contact Glen Abramson at gabramson@bm.net or (215)

Why are you investigating EZ-Flo and
Eastman?

EZ-Flo manufactures water supply lines (under the EZ-Flo and
Eastman brands) that connect household fixtures such as faucets,
toilets, washing machines, and dishwashers to a building's water
supply. EZ-Flo and Eastman braided water supply lines have two
distinct defects that cause them to fail and burst, flooding the
home of the unsuspecting owner.

Toilet connector problems

EZ-Flo and Eastman toilet connectors, which connect the plumbing
supply to a toilet, have a plastic coupling nut on the end that
connects to the base of the toilet. The plastic coupling nut
contains a design defect that causes excessive stress to build at
the base of the coupling nut, eventually causing the nut to crack
and fail. This allows flowing water to leak out into the
bathroom.

Washing machine supply line problems

EZ-Flo and Eastman washing machine supply lines, which connect
the plumbing supply to a washing machine, have a different defect
from the toilet connectors. The metallic insert used to secure the
coupling nut to the rubber hose cuts the rubber portion of the hose
when exposed to water pressure. When the rubber hose is cut by the
insert, the hose leaks and bursts, causing flooding and property
damage. This happens despite the fact that EZ-Flo and Eastman
advertise that the washing machine lines are "guaranteed not to
burst."
